Paul George will be the only one sitting for the Celtics in the back to back tonight here in Toronto.

3rd straight back to back Jayson Tatum will play both ends.

This is the 2nd of 5 Celtics BTBs in November.

That's surprising to me. Figured it'd be most of the team sitting lol

Man I forgot we have another game tomorrow.  Another B2B?  Seems like our team is getting run ragged early in the season.

Houston on the road was a scheduled loss B2B after playing Orlando.   We can beat the Raptors, but it's going to be anything but easy.  I wonder if PG rests again.

I think we have more B2Bs than any other team.  I never care about if a schedule starts hard or easy as it evens out (within the conference) over the season. However, having more B2Bs makes a huge difference.

They don't play again 'til Sunday and that's at home.  Maybe the thought is that the two days off after tonight will be fine.  Now, the Orlando game next Monday might be a skeleton crew with a trip to Denver looming.

Rest everyone. Tatum, George, White, Queta, etc. all take a night off

I?d be good with that.  I?ll guess Tatum, DW, and Q will play. Rest MR.

That would basically be throwing the game. I get resting PG13 due to his age, but everyone else should be playing unless they are banged up.

I agree...

"The Boston Celtics played 42 games on no rest (back-to-back games) during the 1963?64 season, which stands as the franchise high for the most back-to-back games in a single season." Does JJ Redick think todays players could do that on buses...

Also, I think we would be fined for resting that many players

Did the Celtics ever rest bird, McHale or Parish on a back to back? Or Jordan? I can?t remember those guys from that era ever being rested.It seems like this is a fairly recent development started when Popovich started resting Duncan and then it really picked up steam with Embiid and Leonard. Now everybody?s doing it.
